-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Windows for Workgroups on a machine that uses Microsoft LAN
Manager, Setup may display an error message saying it cannot upgrade a driver.
This may occur with any original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specific device
drivers in LAN Manager.

CAUSE
=====

The LAN Manager configuration is upgraded by comparing the DRIVER0 entry in the
LAN Manager SETUP.INI file against the list of known LAN Manager drivers in the
[netcard] section of LM21DRV.UPD. If they do not match, the driver cannot be
automatically upgraded.

WORKAROUND
==========

You have to select from the drivers that Windows for Workgroups provides or use
an OEM installation disk.
